20-year-old from Europe looking to earn some money online while job hunting – any realistic options?

Hi everyone,

I'm a 20-year-old from Europe and currently unemployed while looking for a job. In the meantime, I'd like to make a bit of money online—not expecting a full-time income or anything, just some extra cash to help cover small expenses until I find work.

A few years ago, I tried several online money-making methods but didn't have much success. I gave Fiverr, YouTube, and TikTok a shot, but none of them really worked out for me at the time.

One thing I am good at is technology in general. I have experience building PCs, troubleshooting computer issues, and I'm generally comfortable with tech-related tasks.

I've also tried dropshipping before, but I ended up losing money. Is it worth giving it another shot, or has anyone found better alternatives that are more realistic for someone in my situation?

Does anyone have recommendations for legitimate ways to earn online as a beginner? I'm open to things like freelancing, surveys, data entry, tutoring, AI training tasks, tech support, or anything else that's actually worth the time.

I'd especially appreciate hearing from people who have personally tried something that worked for them, especially if it's something that can generate a small but consistent income without requiring a large audience or a lot of upfront investment.

Thanks!
